RIF has an amazing group of volunteers, authors and celebrities who donate their time, talents and passion for promoting children’s literacy. One June 19, noted author and historian, Reeve Lindbergh, daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, joined RIF at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC, for story-time events and a meet and greet.

Although Reeve has done numerous events at the museum over the years, this was the first time she was able to be up close to her father’s plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, as it is being renovated and is on the main floor. It was a poignant moment to hear her tell stories of her mom and dad and the airplanes they flew.

Nearly 100 children and their families joined Reeve as she read one of her books, Nobody Owns the Sky, the story of the first African American female pilot, Bessie Coleman. The children donned aviator masks, jackets and white scarves and listened to Reeve as she rhymed her way though the book’s passages. In typical RIF fashion, each child attending the event received their very own copy of Nobody Owns the Sky to take home.

To encourage learning about aviation and how planes work, download RIF’s activity sheet, a great companion to the book.

We are thankful to Reeve Lindbergh and our hosts at the National Air & Space Museum for a fun-filled morning of storytelling and look forward to soaring to new heights in the future!
